How Life is Just a Puzzle

Jessil Serna — Sat, 20 Oct 2018 19:41:23 +0000

Life always has its ups and downs and somehow some people may have it better than others. The reality is, there is nothing new under the sun. No matter how unique a path or a product or a thought or anything may seem, they are just combinations or reimaginations of something that has already been done. Take the car for example, why do we say Horse Power? Because the car is an improvement of the horse as a means of transportation. The faster and better the car is, the more horse power it has. Everyone is the same Everyone. Every single one of us is the same. We are all born into this world with nothing. We all start at ground zero. Nobody is born holding a bar of gold, or a university degree, or the wisdom of a 40 year old. But why does it seem like some have it better than others? Because they were given to them. Does that matter? In a way, yes. But in a bigger way, no. You see, most of the richest people alive today are self made. That means they didn’t just simply inherit all their riches but they worked for it. A lot of studies point out that there are similarities among these successful people; one of which is the desire to succeed. With this, would it not be logical to think that they also share the same core lessons they had to learn at some point in their lives? I think so. I believe that life is a puzzle. And like every puzzle, you have to put the pieces together to get the result that you want. There’s a Solution for Every Problem Just like puzzles, problems are the same way. Each problem can be solved. Each may feel unique to you but when you look at it deeper shares the same concepts (and maybe solutions) as other problems that have already been solved. More than likely, someone somewhere has already solved a similar problem and have even published it somewhere. I completely believe that problems are trying to teach us a lesson; they help us grow; and that we have to learn that lesson before that problems goes away. Or maybe they don’t go away, it just seems like it because we can easily brush them off right away because we already know how to deal with them. I have noticed that problems I don’t completely know how to solve yet keep on coming back in my life. And looking back, I notice that the problems I had before seem to still be around but I don’t even notice them because I already know how to deal with them. Did I grow? Did I get better? I believe so. And so did you with yours. There will always be problems to help us grow. They will always be there. And we all have to learn how to solve our problems and grow. Always remember, YOU CAN DO THIS. If you find this post helpful to yourself or anyone you know, HIT THE SHARE BUTTON 🙂

How to Create Connections to reach your GOALS

Jessil Serna — Sun, 22 Jul 2018 15:22:55 +0000

They often say it’s not WHAT you know, it’s WHO you knows you. Creating long lasting and meaningful connections to get closer to reach your goals is an amazing thing to have in life. There are different ways to create connections and for different reasons. Depending on what your goals are and why you want to create these connections, you could do things differently. The ways I am going to share with you today are ways I find are the ones that worked for me over the years and have created meaningful relationships that I can consider the most worthwhile and productive in my life. Cold Calling Going to events Cold Calling Since I started my pursuit in building an empire, two of my most influential connections came from this method. I know it could be scary to pick up the phone and just call a random stranger out of the blue but, hey, what’s the worst thing I got from calling people? They hang up on me or say NO they don’t want to meet me. Which is nothing really. Going to Events Wherever you may be on this planet, there will always be events where people gather in events Before you call someone, you have to prepare 3 main things: 1. Your target 2. How you could help them (what’s in it for them) 3. A natural sounding script or an overview of what you want to talk about Your target I forgot who said, “If you don’t know where you are going, any road will take you there.” Similarly, If you don’t know what kind of people you want to meet, any type of connections (even the wrong ones) will seem to be a good progress. Being genuinely interested in people’s lives and having their best interest at heart is always the goal; but this time, we are looking for something more than that. How you could help them (What’s in it for them?) Someone famous once said: “Everyone does everything out of selfishness.” It doesn’t matter how selfless the action could be, at some level it made the person feel good. Imagine you met two new people today, everything about them are equal except what they bring to your life. One brings you nothing and offers you nothing, both in personal and business life but asks for your help all the time. The other offers you help and the potential to meet other new people. Who would you rather be continually be in touch with? Be that kind of person. It’s always a give and take relationship, give a lot and don’t expect anything in return but don’t hesitate to ask. A natural sounding script or an overview of what you want to talk about If you are new to this and are not sure how to start, it doesn’t hurt to have a planned script or outline as to what to say when you’re actually doing things. It also boils down to flirting, do it too mild and they might get bored; do it too aggressive and they might get scared; do it just right and you have a chance. CONCLUSION Do not be an asshole. Be genuinely and truly good in all your intentions when you meet people. People will feel if you have some kind of agenda behind your words and actions. DO NOT WORRY. The right people in your life will come, but first you have to look for them. If you find this post helpful to yourself or anyone you know, HIT THE SHARE BUTTON 🙂

TWO WAYS TO FIND FOCUS…again

Jessil Serna — Sun, 22 Jul 2018 15:18:11 +0000

FINDING FOCUS It’s so easy to be distracted. With all the distractions the world has to offer today, it is so easy to be sidetracked from your goals. Here are two quick fixes I use to refocus myself: DROP EVERYTHING BE ALONE DROP EVERYTHING Just stop. Drop everything and go somewhere. Relax, clear your mind, and do something you love and enjoy. When you feel stressed and find yourself getting distracted more and more, I always find it best to drop everything and just push my reset button. I go back to square one and just forget everything. This resets myself to a place where I am happy and relieved. Want to know the best part? I get to ask myself if I am happy with what I’m doing to achieve my goals. What am I doing? Am I happy? Is it going to be worth it? What’s next? What’s going to happen if I continue doing what I’m doing? What if I stop? These are the questions I ask myself on a regular basis and they have guided me a lot. BE ALONE This might not be for everyone. Some people prefer to be with others when they want to recharge. I do that too. I go out with friends and just have fun. But the goal is to find focus again. That’s why I would always find time to be alone. To be able to think. I think of the different perspectives of what is happening. Where am I now? Where do I want to be? What do I need to do to get there? REFOCUS I regularly do these two things in my life and have been able to grow constantly because of it. You have to remember that the universe will always be there to guide you. These questions have helped me realize a lot of things and in effect I have been able to become more aware of the things I do. Focus on yourself. Instead of gossiping about others, gossip to yourself about yourself. In order to grow, you must need to look into yourself and fill the gaps.
